Introduction
Founded in 1954, the National Federation
of Spiritual Healers is acknowledged to be the principle
organization for spiritual healing in the United Kingdom,
with more than 6,000 members working individually and
in Centres throughout the country. There is also a growing
overseas membership. NFSH is a registered charity and
operates through regional committees serving the membership
within their geographical boundaries. A Council of nationally
elected representatives and officers are the governing
board of trustees.
The
NFSH is not associated with any religion, -ism or –ology.
It does see the source of healing as divine, but respects
the right of every individual to his or her own interpretation
of that source. The word ‘spiritual' in title
refers to the quality of spirituality implicit in the
healing process. Members of the NFSH are bound by a
strict Code of Conduct.
What the NFSH does
Indentifies
potential healers
and encourages their development
Individuals
who wish to develop their potential for healing can
come to the NFSH for advice and training. There is a
national scheme of development groups for probationers
and extensive educational and training programme within
a structured syllabus which is available throughout
the country. This is designed to support the progress
of new healers and expand the knowledge and expertise
of established healers.
Provides
a national healer
referral service to the public
Registered
healers and centres are recorded on a database at Central
Office and individuals can write or telephone the Healer
Referral Service for details of a healer local to them
at any time – an answer-phone service is available
outside normal office hours.
‘Distant’ healing can also be arranged for
patients who are unable to receive ‘contact’
healing from a healer in person.
Publicises
healing to a wider public
The NFSH sets out to create a better understanding of
healing by regularly participating in local and national
exhibitions, organizing lectures and demonstrations,
and providing interviews and articles for the media,
including radio and television, both in this country
and overseas. The NFSH has been involved with doctors
in research programmes into the effects of healing on
certain illnesses.
It
is an Information Centre
The
NFSH deals with enquiries world wide on all aspects
of healing – from radio and television, newspapers
and periodicals, from educational, medical and religious
organizations and from members of the general public.
A wide range of books, tapes, CD’s and leaflets
on healing, relaxation and other related subjects are
available from Central Office, as is the quarterly house
magazine ‘Healing Today’, which is available
to non-members by subscription.
